Where are they, or is it a secret to keep the riff raff out?

LOL, first of all there aren't "beaches" in Austin - there are lakes with swimming areas. And yes, one of them is clothing optional - Hippie Hollow. Google it and you will get the link, my work web filter won't let me go there.

A couple of years ago, one of those double decker party boats with some visiting tourists capsized near the shores of Hippie Hollow - yep everyone ran over to onse side of the boat to observe the nude people!

The nude areas have been around for at least 40 years.

Longer than that. Way back in the 1970's, someone built a house with a big picture window over Campbell's Hole, then complained to the police that people were skinnydipping in Campbell's Hole. Which people had been doing since at least the 1800's.

Women have also been observed topless (entirely legally) at Barton Springs Pool.

Hippie Hollow used to be a "secret" and a great place to go with hardly anyone there. Then the state got in on it and made it "official" and paved the parking lot (now, THAT kept the riff raff out! the pre-paving parking lot, that is), and ruined the whole thing.
